This tranquil spot is just right for a comfortable stay in the woodland - the retro feel of the converted truck, with its rustic, floral décor and homely touches, will take you back in time and the numerous little compartments and well equipped interior hark back to its functional past. The cosy glade has a picnic table, a spacious outdoor bathroom with hot shower, and it’s so private you can even leave the door open for a view out to the trees! Chickens and ducks wander around freely and Daisy and Scruff, the resident kune kune pigs always appreciate an apple from the orchard and maybe a scratch behind the ear...

Ffynnon Samson really is an experience in itself, with activities aplenty right on site. Bring the kids along in their own tent to play on the tyre swings and feed the animals. Rent a pet, collect your own eggs, splash around in the river, and then at the end of the day, watch the sunset from the top of a hay bale. Bring a pen knife and spend your evenings whittling away or toasting marshmallows by the open fire. Even the rain won't have a chance to spoil your day as there’s enough space inside the truck for the whole family to sit around the table for a game of scrabble. Matt and Emma have made sure that everything is perfect for your stay - they want you to love Matilda just as much as they do!

"Luxury camping with a wonderful homely feel! A very trusting environment which felt warm and accessible to everyone. The hosts were very friendly and helpful! All good. If there wasn't a train station nearby and no host members offering you a pickup to and from the station then I can imagine it being hard for some people to get there. We like being out in the sticks though!"

"We loved out stay, the truck was so cosy and had everything we needed. There was loads to do near by and we enjoyed visiting the coast, pembroke castle and going for an afternoon tea. As well as relaxing on site, feeding the super cute lamb and pigs!"

"Matilda was the perfect location to enjoy a chilled out long weekend and an even better place for me to propose to my now Fiancée! A magical break! Matt and Emma were fantastic hosts, the secluded glade makes you feel like you’re a million miles away from civilisation, but they are always just across the field to help out with anything that comes up. The bed in Matilda was extremely comfortable and the wood burner kept us warm. The facilities were great, particularly the bathroom cabin and it was fun to be able to interact with all of the animals. Although the farm is around 10 minutes’ drive from any kind of main roads, it’s a good central location to discover the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast. Couldn’t have been happier. Outside of our engagement, some of the best things were: collecting fresh eggs for breakfast - we had a double yolker one morning; the morning corus in the glade; outdoor pancakes; evenings around the fire; Matt and Emma giving us an Engagement Present - a clay Matilda candle holder."

"We loved our stay! I booked our stay in Matilda as a surprise for my partner's birthday, and was mildly concerned as the day approached and the forecasts for the St Jude storm were beginning to rumble! But we went anyway, and I'm so glad that we did. Matilda warmed up in no time once the log burner was lit. The best thing about our stay was the walk to the loo at midnight on Saturday night! Away from the urban haze I'm used to I stepped off Matilda's front step to be confronted by the most beautiful, uninterrupted night sky I have ever seen - we were completely mesmerised. Other highlights were the tour of the farm and meeting the pigs and turkeys, and stocking up on gorgeous home-grown organic veg at the honesty shop. It really was a blissfully chilled out weekend away from it all. I can't think of a "worst thing"!"

"It was fantastic! Just what we needed. Stunning setting surrounded by nature. Total peace and quiet. Matilda had so much character and was very clean. It was small but very cosy and had everything we needed, including welcoming touches - fresh flowers on the table, homemade brownies for my birthday and fresh eggs. Lots of lovely lanterns with candles in. Whilst Matilda was in a very remote setting (which is exactly what we wanted), the coast was still within easy reach. The hosts were very friendly, lovely people and were always happy to help and let us get involved with the farm's activities! We would highly recommend Matilda to anyone who wants a quiet break, a completely unique experience and wants to get in touch with nature - particularly if you enjoy camping, as it was 'glamping' at its best! Do not be put off be the compost loo - it doesn't smell!"

"We booked Matilda as a romantic back to nature anniversary weekend and we fell in love with it. It's been simply but beautifully renovated to create a cosy living space in a tranquil setting. We travelled from London on a Friday afternoon and in anticipation of our late arrival the wood burner had been lit for us so it was warm and cosy when we got there. The farm was also a lovely place to take a stroll and the wild ponies were a friendly surprise :) I would highly recommend Matilda for anyone looking for a no frills break from the city."
